My patch-work skirt sold for a $100 bucks a piece in 1972 money I sold them with a silk shirt / Chanel bow. My seamstress had left over fabric on the floor from other dresses and we sewed them together and made a real nice skirt to the floor ... Also my silk jersy kaftan was a big seller.. had a belt inside could be tied to show a waist . They went for $300 to $500 some had a lot of sequins .. You had to fold them not hang , because the fabric would grow .. colors were great the House of Cadena in Madrid had great fabric I made a poncho in a beautiful cashmere for winter .. If I got a hit , I made more than one .. come on , made sure the women were heading in different directions.. would be terrible if they meet at a party in the same dress ... I put in pink marble floors and teak wood in the fitting rooms.. lattice wood panels on the walls to hang the dress on ...mirrored cubes I put the jewelry on them . When the star studded group would jet into Marbella for a big party that gave an excuse (if not reason) for approximately one hundred photographers to knock the already starry eyed group in the head with their camera cases, tramp on those who were considered worthy of being photographed to reach another illustrious name and try to do their job. Everyone is pushed and shoved and crushed, why so many? Surely there are syndication or agency men who could serve all, as is done on an official basis. There can't be THAT many magazines and newspapers who are prominent enough to warrant exclusive photos. They shoot thousands of flashes so many shots taken what is the logic - always the same people, public relations types should reorganize that! I was not a moving target they knew where I would be so they came into the boutique and sold me some pictures after the magazines were done looking at them. The boutique made my sales women some money and one married a rich man. Sean Connery would hang out-side the front door and wait for them to get off work. Before he married Micheline in 1975 he was looking from about 1973 till he met her. I took a picture of him in 1991 on the set of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves he played King Richard 1 a cameo, uncredited, he was paid one million dollars for that and he gave it to charity which is unusual for a cheap as hell guy like he is, had to of been a tax scam reason! When Franco was alive you didn't have to pay income tax, that changed when he died the country went socialist and the mafia moved in you had to pay more into the workers fund etc.. I also had a boutique in the Inocosol Hotel and Spa where King Fahd would take over the whole hotel, once my dog jumped in the pool and he made them change the water. King Fahd was around from 1974 to 1982 with his $80 billion dollars petro $$$ used to come in with his call girls and leave me a suitcase full of cash...... I am wearing one of the shirts I made for myself in this picture of me the silk came from Madrid the house of "Cadena" ....
